Resumo da Reunião 7 fevereiro 2013

By next meeting, we will finalize our personal descriptions of one paragraph and publish them on the blog.

Book reading (Greta Christina - Why are you atheists so angry):

We studied the Resources given by the author. Here is a list of our comments, relating the links to our intentions:

http://www.the-brights.net/ Has a lot of sources but not many activities. Has a very well organized database of books, blogs etc.

http://www.venganza.org/ A lot of pamphlets, stickers etc. Good activism material.

http://centerforinquiry.net/ Has lots of videos, articles that we could translate and use as an outreach opportunity.

http://www.ftsociety.org/ A more humanist group rather than an atheist one. Nice activism and networking, sometimes press releases etc. They host meet-ups in Lisbon too.

http://richarddawkinsfoundation.org/ Two words: Richard Dawkins.

http://secularstudents.org/ Purely American network of secularist student organizations. But they have a "group starting package" that might be useful.

http://www.atheismresource.com/ Lots of information such as videos, articles, short essays, book reviews etc. But doesn't have activism material.

http://godisimaginary.com/ Arguments that they have could be used in flyers or posters as they are short and clear.

http://wiki.ironchariots.org/index.php?title=Main_Page Good source for arguments and counter-arguments. But only that.

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/ Greta says he is the Atheist Times where we can get recent atheist news.

We also noticed that she mentions a survey she has done in her blog about which ideas convinced former believers to become atheists. (Chapter 12) We decided to take a closer look at these reasons, pick our favorite ones, and discuss action possibilities in the next meeting.
